All I did was ask you a very simple question. Not sure where you got all that from. I guess this is the way some people avoid a question.

You guys claimed that the reason why Cain doesn't like the phrase AFrican American is because he sees himself more as an American, implying that people who use hyphenated labels don't. Rudy Guiliani is comfortable with hyphenated labels, unlike Cain. Does that mean Rudy identifies less with being American than Cain.

Simple question.

Apparently so. What's your explanation?

is your thread about Rudy Guiliani or Herman Cain? make up your mind. Most beautiful African American actress: Charlize Theron; born and raised in Africa, emigrated to America. Herman Cain is American.

Hyphens are used to divide. Why does the OP seek division over US citizens simply identifying themselves as Americans? Is it the same obsession that moves Progressives to want to label and group everyone into nice neat packages to vilify?

I'd say most Conservatives don't see a need to be hyphenated Americans. There is little doubt that Cain is more Conservative than Guiliani.
